Helmet Mommies- Come in!

Hey ladies,

Carter got his helmet last night and we've been wearing it an hour on and an hour off- we'll be doing that for the rest of today. After his hour long stretch of wearing the helmet, underneath the "sideburn" part, it looks dark pink with little dots. Now since it's technically his first full day, do you think I should still call to get it looked at?

I'm a first time helmet dummy, I just hate to keep going back if this is just his head getting used to it, you know?

Thanks for any insight.

    My DD had a helmet and I'm pretty sure she had the same thing initially.  It's likely just your LO's head getting used to it, but keep an eye on it.  If it gets more red and/or does not go away after you've had the helmet off for awhile, I would
